About This Item
I. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. The work is a Latin adaptation of Rösslin's Kreutterbuch von aller Erdtgewächs (1533). Egenolff had suggested the translation in order to also open up the foreign market for the book, using stronger paper and with the woodcut plant illustrations closer to nature. Further, with its Latin text, and plant captions in Greek, Latin and German, the edition was intended for a more scholarly audience than Egenolff's usual vernacular editions. The Latin translation appeared only once, the German version, on the other hand, had a tough life; in 1557 the newly elected Frankfurt city doctor and son-in-law of Egenolf, Adams Lonicer, took over the revision of this work (see Schmid).

II. SECOND EDITION of Ryff's Dioscorides edition, the best of the 16th century, much improved compared to the first of 1543. The woodcuts are largely re-uses from Rösslin's herbal book, including some animals and illustrations of chemical-pharmaceutical apparatus. The edition comprises Jean de la Ruelle's Latin translation of the Aldine Greek edition of 1499 (first published in Paris in 1516), and adding the commentary of Ryff, first published by Egenolph in 1543. The text of the 1543 edition is extended by the addition of Valerius Cordus's Annotationes (pp. 449-533), Euricius Cordius's Iudicium de herbis et simplicibus medicinae (pp. 534-541), and Conrad Gesner's Herbarum nomenclaturae variarum gentium (pp. 541-554). These additions and the indices in five languages, provided most of the necessary apparatus to make de la Ruelle's translation a work of the greatest use to contemporary readers. Nissen notes that the majority of the illustrations - 786 woodcuts, rather than the 595 of Egenolph's 1543 edition - are taken from Rösslin's Kreutterbuch (which was also published by Egenolph).
